Just to make it clear that while owning the pistol may be legal, you must get a form to take the pistol from your home to go directly to the range, then home again. Myself, and many others were fed up and also insulted that after 20 years of law abiding gun ownership we were suddenly considered potential criminals. I don't want to cause any hard feelings and these are just my views. We had a perfectly good system in place before the registration laws came out. It was the FAC the firearms aquisition certificate. It required you to record the serial number of the weapon purchased. It wasn't eforced enough I guess. My views on the subject forced me to get rid of all my weapons to avoid 5 years in jail and stop doing something I dearly loved. By the way--you can tell how much my government trusts its people by watching coverage of peaceful protests. They have armed snipers on the roofs and police in full riot gear. I guess my only choice is to move to the last country that would not yet dare to try this stuff. P.S Kidvett--if you know; what happens after jan 2003? How many firearms are actually registered at this point? I haven't kept up with what's happening lately.
